About Uterus Tumor Removal

Uterus tumor removal, medically known as myomectomy, is a surgical procedure performed by an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist to remove non-cancerous growths called fibroids from the uterus while preserving the organ. This is a crucial option for women who wish to maintain fertility or avoid a hysterectomy. The procedure can be performed through various minimally invasive techniques such as laparoscopy or hysteroscopy, or via traditional open abdominal surgery (laparotomy), depending on the size, number, and location of the fibroids. The goal is to alleviate symptoms like heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure, thereby improving quality of life and reproductive potential. It is a common and effective treatment for symptomatic uterine fibroids.
